1841 CENSUS LOOK UP - PLEASE

Could someone please find ROBERT SPARKS C 1829 In the 1841 census please. I have his marriage certificate and it shows his father as THOMAS Sparks. For his age it just says "full" but from looking at previous census records it shows as c1829. on his marriage certificate 1849 it shows residence at time of marriage for him and his wife(widow) Elizabeth Boulton as Northgate Street. It states they were married in the parish of St Peter, county of the city of chester. The 1851 census shows them both coming from Wales, him from Little Dublin Wales and she from Bagillt wales. The 1871 census states merely Flintshire. I've managed to trace my Sparks family to the 1901 census so it is just the 1841 census i'm struggling on. I would be very grateful if someone could find him . Many thanks

on the marriage certificate it is sparks without an e, however, on the 1851 it is with an e. when i have been checking the census i have looked at both with an e and without.
